Haven't had much time for flickr recently :( But have been managing to still do some photography. This marbled white was from yesterday morning. About 15 shots stacked at about 5:30am! Sleeping butterflies are so much easier to shoot!
l had two shots today, my first wall brown of the season and also a speckled wood, but the brown gets the nod and day 161 of my 365

Spring azure butterfly. Not the best picture, I would have preferred the 'head on', but am more 'proud' that I was able to creep up to an inch and half of it with the Laowa 25mm!
Meus amigos talvez fiquem chocados com esta imagem.
Estive pensando como nós que somos carnívoros não sentimos dó do boi ao ver um belo espeto de picanha, do porco ao ver aquela cena do leitao com a maçã na boca, dos galináceos diante de um belo frango assado, do peixe e dos mariscos naquela paelha, mas sentimos pena desta borboletinha na boca da temível aranha.
Será que estamos certos em usarmos animais nas nossas refeições? Será que é uma questão de sobrevivência?
Desculpe se estraguei seu almoço de domingo.
My friends perhaps are shocked with this image.
I was thinking like us that are carnivorous we didn't feel pity of the ox when seeing a beautiful sirloin spit, of the pig when seeing that scene of the pig with the apple in the mouth, of the gallinaceous ones before a beautiful roasted chicken, of the fish and of the shellfishes in that paella, but we felt feather of this butterfly in the mouth of the dreadful spider.
Will it be that are right in we use animals in our meals? Will it be that is a survival subject?
Excuse if I destroyed your Sunday lunch.

Gray sail against the sky,
Gray butterfly!
Have you a dream for going.
Or are you the blind wind's blowing?

The Glasswinged butterfly (Greta oto), is a beautiful butterfly and is a member of the: subfamily Danainae, tribe Ithomiini, subtribe Godyridina. Greta oto adults exhibit a number of behaviours, such as long migrations and lekking (gathering of males for competitive mating displays). Wings are translucent, with a wingspan of 5.6 to 6.1 cm (2.2 to 2.4 in). Its common English name is glasswinged butterfly, and its Spanish name is “espejitos”, which means “little mirrors.”
The Glasswinged butterfly gets its name ,because the tissue between the veins of its wings ,looks like glass . It lacks coloured scales ,found in other butterflies .
If you want to see them in the wild, however, you will have to take a trip – anywhere from Mexico to Panama in Central America . You will also have to locate, the nearest rainforest where the glasswing prospers. They feed off the nectar of a variety of rainforest flowers .
